“Commit thy way unto God. Trust also in him and he will bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5

AT HIS TABLE:

What is your way today? The plans that you have for today as with any day for the future have the desire to be successful, yet there are no guarantees that success will come. All too often we will lean to our own understanding even though we are repeatedly instructed not to, as we read,

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

So we might continue to act or react in ways that might seem right to us, but ultimately lead to destruction, as we read,

“There is a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are ways of death. Proverbs 14:12

THE SPIN CYCLE…

How terrible it is that we can put ourselves in this spin cycle where we simply are doing the same things expecting a different result time and time again, and failing time and time again! You have all heard of the quote by the British Educational writer William Edmund Hickson,

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, and try again!”

While there is much encouragement in this quote, the truth is it fails to bring attention to the right way to success. Because many are of the thought that if they just keep trying they will eventually make it, but we all need to understand that unless we exchange our ways for God’s tried and true ways we will simply be repeating all that we have failed at so many times before.

The sure way of success is right before us! As we read,

“Commit thy way unto the Lord!”

!!This requires that we also choose his ways to be our ways!!

In other words we cannot imagine to rob a bank and be successful at it merely because we talked to God first and committed this to him. God would never grant success, because this is not his way. God’s ways are righteous and not unrighteous and law breaking! So our ways must be righteous also! And when they are and then they are committed unto God, then his unfailing promise to bring them to pass will always prevail. God will surely bring them to pass!
